Chris Robinson has become the latest star to attack country sweetheart Taylor Swift, almost a year after Kanye West ruined her big night at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards by protesting her first-ever win at the event.

The Black Crowes front man has taken issue with Swift over claims she’s one of the most talented singers in the industry today. He’s not a fan.

The rocker insists there are very few modern artists he enjoys listening to because most acts are little more than products of a computer.

He explains, “They have stylists who dress them, they make records with producers who play a chord into the computer and it all comes out the same. … When you have computers doing it all for you … there’s no individuality. Singing isn’t always about being on key; it’s about emotionality (sic).”

Kate Hudson enjoyed an unusual Father’s Day this year, spending it in the company of her ex-husband, Chris Robinson, their young son, Ryder, her new beau, Lance Armstrong, and Armstrong’s three kids.

The “Fool’s Gold” actress stepped out in Brooklyn, N.Y., for brunch on Sunday and was joined by her Robinson and Armstrong.

Hudson split from the Black Crowes rocker in 2006 after six years of marriage, and began a romance with cycling ace Armstrong earlier this year. However, neither star has spoken publicly about the relationship.

But Armstrong made sure his own children — Luke, 8, and 6-year-old twins Isabelle and Grace — didn’t miss out on spending the day with their dad. He brought them along to join in the fun, according to the New York Daily News.

Actress Kate Hudson is so comfortable with her ex-husband Chris Robinson, they hit bars together to check out beautiful women.

The beauty split from The Black Crowes rocker in 2006 after six-years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences on divorce papers filed in August 2007.

But the pair — who have a 4-year-old son Ryder — remained firm friends throughout their turbulent relationship, with Hudson insisting Robinson will always be her “biggest love.”

And the 28-year-old blonde has warned potential suitors, stating her close contact with ex-husband Robinson is here to stay.

She tells Britain’s Eve magazine, “Chris and I are so cool. I’m really lucky. We share houses in New York. No matter what happens, Chris was my biggest love — we had this amazing son and we both love each other.

“It just didn’t work out. Whoever ends up in my life has to know that Chris will be in my family forever. I look at women with Chris now. I can sit in a bar with him and we say, ‘She’s cute.'”

The Black Crowes have been left fuming after a music critic allegedly “made up” a bad review of their first album in seven years.

The stars claim a critic from Maxim magazine gave their album “Warpaint” a poor review.

It gave it two-and-a-half stars out of a possible five in its March issue without hearing the release, as no advance copies were made available.

Writing on the Black Crowes Web site, frontman Chris Robinson states, “The writer, who has not heard the album since advance CDs were not made available, wrote what appears to be a disparaging assessment anyway, citing, ‘It hasn’t left Chris Robinson and the gang much room for growth.'”

The band and its management have now launched a scathing attack on Maxim, insisting the stunt is a “disgrace.”

Pete Angelus, the band’s manager, says, “It speaks directly to the lack of the publication’s credibility. In my opinion, it’s a disgrace to the arts, journalism, critics, the publication itself and the public.

“What’s next — Maxim’s concert reviews of shows they never attended, book reviews of books never read and film reviews of films never seen?”

A spokesperson for the publication would not confirm or deny the allegations, but instead released the following statement: “Maxim will continue to provide our readers with information that is important to them, whether it is about fashion, lifestyle, technology, music, movies and more.”

The birth of Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson’s son Ryder left the former couple convinced their marriage needed help.

The pair sealed the end of their seven-year union with a divorce in October, and now Hudson has revealed her son Ryder’s birth in January 2004 was the beginning of the end.

She says, “We had Ryder, and we both sort of looked at each other and went, ‘Something’s off.'”

But Hudson insists she and The Black Crowes rocker are still close, adding, “(Divorce was) the most difficult thing I’ve ever done in my life. The process of discovering with somebody that you love that you don’t … work is so painful. And thank goodness I did it with Chris. … We helped each other through it.

“Now we’re both single and since the day we separated, we talk multiple times.”
